Pet euthanasia

Dear Val
This may be a bit late but its a wet day!
Its not just unwanted pets who are euthanised in America and indeed all over the world. My daughter who lives in Oregon has just taken the decision to put her much loved 12 year old rescue cat to sleep. Freckles has lost over 20% of her body weight since Christmas and has been to the vet many times. Rather than go for expensive tests or questionable and invasive surgery, they have taken the difficult decision that Freckles should go next weekend. The decision was a family one and their nine year old son was included in the decision making process. He is now busy making up poems and songs to remember her by and giving her many extra cat treats.

Val says  good that the family made the decision together, sometimes it is the kindest way, best for the pet but hard for the owners.
